Recall Alert: 2012 Volkswagen Passat
Only 153 vehicles are affected by the recall; they were manufactured from Jan. 18 through June 1, 2011, and use a diesel filter that may not seal properly. This could lead to possible fuel leakage over time and an increased risk of fire. You can check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb.
Volkswagen will notify owners in May, and dealers will replace the diesel fuel filter free of charge. Owners can call VW at 800-822-8987 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
